INTRODUCTION In the past 25 years, domestic violence has emerged as a significant social and political issue for research and theory development. Treatment theory has rapidly evolved, with feminist theory and family systems theory becoming the dominant theoretical perspectives. Proponents of both models maintain intractably opposed positions and have experienced impassioned and bitter debate. Here we present an alternative. In addition, we present a discussion of the legal and psychological issues involved.
